Vancouver’s evolving media landscape
The Vancouver Sun has been a staple of the city’s news landscape since it first hit the streets on February 12, 1912. Initially housed at 125 West Pender Street, the Sun was just steps away from its fierce competitor, The Vancouver Daily Province. Fast forward to 2010, and the Sun found itself under the Postmedia Network umbrella after the collapse of CanWest.
Always adapting to the changing times, the Sun expanded its reach in December 2011 by launching Taiyangbao, a Chinese-language edition tailored to Vancouver’s growing Chinese-speaking community. This marked a significant step in reflecting the city’s diverse demographics with original content crafted in Chinese.
Granville Square served as the paper’s home from 1997 until 2015, when the landscape of print journalism shifted dramatically. The closure of the Kennedy Heights printing press that year not only ended an era but also resulted in the loss of 220 jobs. The Sun and The Province began outsourcing their printing to different facilities, marking a significant change in operations.
In 2017, the Vancouver Sun and The Province packed up once more, this time settling into the Broadway Tech Centre in East Vancouver. Despite the changes, the Vancouver Sun continues to be a key player in the city’s media scene, evolving alongside the very community it serves.

My aunt used to work there and took me a few times with her to work. Great memories!
